So here we are in 2017, it’s just a new year like every other year but perhaps you feel it is time to take charge of your future career. You may not have thought about recruitment before as a career you could ask any of our consultants, managers or directors if they knew they would go into recruitment after school, college or uni, most would say no!

So why have they? Recruitment is one of the few industries where you truly get out what you are prepared to put in. More and more ambitious, business minded people are finding themselves drawn to this career path. It’s a fast paced environment that breeds success and offers progression and unlimited earning potential which is both meteoric and merited. You can earn serious money is a relatively short space of time if you work hard, so what recruitment offers you is a lifestyle, rather than just making a living or getting by.

So if you have a 3 year plan, join SmithCorp as a Trainee Recruitment Consultant in 2017, by 2020 the likelihood is you will be pushing £60k, and if you have a 5 year plan by 2022, if you are a top biller or have hit senior management level, you can expect to be earning £80 – 100k per annum. More than enough to pay off those student debts, get on the property ladder, provide for your family, have your dream holidays and that car! The opportunities are here for those who want it.

And it is not so important to us where you have come from, but where you are going. To succeed you will need to be a self motivated, a great relationship builder, organised, driven, consistent, passionate, resilient and hardworking (this is by no means a 9 – 5 job) These attributes, combined with our support, mentoring and emphasis on training and development, should see you succeed in our business.

This is a B2B sales role and a large proportion of your earnings come from placing people into jobs and earning commission. It is not rocket science but takes commitment.

We don’t recruit just the latest, smartest, graduates, we are equally interested in graduate calibre candidates. We recruit people from many different backgrounds, to name just a few, hospitality, retail, sales, teaching, customer services and ex forces/military. Either way, you will need to show evidence of an excellent work ethic and a commitment to either your studies, sporting achievements or work experience.

Testimonials, see what some of our employees have to say.......

I’ve been with the company 5 years now and am currently running my own team having set up a new division from scratch. I stumbled into recruitment through a friend who was doing very well. Once I looked into it, I knew it was the career for me, based around selling and people, exactly what I was made for. I have increased my billing and earnings year on year and have never looked back. Adam, Senior Manager

Graduating from uni, you naturally have a set of friends of the same age, at a similar stage in their career. Since graduating, we regularly meet up and are in constant communication. Unsurprisingly, the topic of careers, job satisfaction, earnings is always raised and, working for SmithCorp, my earnings and job satisfaction is always above that of my friends. Marshall, Manager

Recruitment rewards you for the effort you put in (financial and progression) – it is hard work but 100% worth it. In the time I have been here, I have been promoted twice and taken to France skiing! I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys sales, targets and being rewarded for their hard work. Rose, Trainee Consultant
